[POSTPONED: September 22, 2021] Pet Shop Boys / New Order: The Unity Tour [rescheduled from September 12, 2020 moved to September 28, 2022]
As a touring band of a certain age (and financial situation), it didn’t surprise me that this tour was postponed one more year–what do they need to put themselves at risk for? I bought these tickets on Feb 26, 2020!
However, I was pleased that this time the show isn’t the day after the My Chemical Romance show,
I saw the Pet Shop Boys in Morristown a few years ago. The show was great. The guys sounded amazing and I had a really good time–except for the crowd around me. They were all loud and talking and tall and pushing. I wished I’d gotten better seats as well. So I told myself if they toured again I would see them if conditions were good.
Well, how about if they toured with New Order? I’ve been a fan of New Order forever but I’ve never seen them live. I’m not even sure I ever really wanted to see them live. But putting them together with New Order was perfect. I didn’t realize that peter Hook had left the band. I did see that he was doing solo shows, but I didn’t realize he had no main band anymore. I also didn’t realized they’d put out any new music since Get Ready. Well, I hope they were just going to play the hits.
I didn’t really want to go to Madison Square Garden, but I’ve had good luck there lately so I picked it over any other large venue.
On June 11, I got the news that Pet Shop Boys & New Order – The Unity Tour was to be postponed until next year. I had pretty good seats, so I’m glad I get to keep them. I’ve waited a while to see them again, what’s one more year?
